Stuck: No Way Out

three.

Niamh.

My curiosity is still here. We already reached Pio's house. I missed this house, this is my hang-out place, that is why his mom knows me. "Hi guys, welcome to my house." I joked and Pio rolled his eyes. "Welcome guys. This is MY house." He said as he opened the gate. "Cool house!" Halton said in an excited way. "You can finally rest, girl." Cleo told Amity, who fainted a while ago. "You can get slippers in the cabinet, please remove your shoes." Wyatt opened the cabinet that showed the rack of hotel slippers. There were exactly nine, enough for all of us. "You may rest in the living room; I'll go check if we have food, I can serve for us. Would you like snacks or something a bit heavy?" Scorpio asked. He's used to having visitors in his house that's why he acts like this. Sometimes, when his parents aren't around, he'd hold parties but not as noisy as those 'parties' we know. His guests were usually just his circle of friends which is the reason why it's not as noisy. "We have chips and candies here. Also, there's ingredients for sandwiches. I'll get them out so you can choose whatever you prefer. Alright?" He asked his guests. His guests were still mesmerized by the interior of the house. Amity was already lying on the big sofa while looking at house's chandelier. The chandelier is made of glass and looked like hanging crystals from below. The others started sitting down, while I walked my way to the kitchen to help out Pio. "You never brought your ex-girlfriend here. huh?" I whispered to him. He just shrugged; he didn't like talking about her. We got the food out on the dining table. "Guys, food is ready." He said loudly, not as loud as a shout though. "Do y'all prefer soda or juice?" Perks of being a rich kid, he's not only lucky with food but about the whole thing. It's a shock to me that he never brought Rvjune here. But then again, he doesn't show off immediately because he wants to be known as him and not as the 'rich kid' of our subdivision and school. That's what I like about him. He never bragged about his things and riches and how he's the heir of all this. By... like I mean... You know, like as a friend? Yeah, that. "Thank you for the food, Scorpio!" Cleo said as she helped Amity. Amity needs support for now, it looks like her blood is still low. It's best for her to eat. "Anyways, shall we talk about the happenings?" I asked them, they just chewed their food. "Well, everything looks planned." Wyatt said as he reached out for a can of soda. The sound of opening a can of soda echoed in the room because it became silent for a few minutes. "Shall we turn on the tv, haha?" I awkwardly said as I stood up. Quest nodded. When I opened the TV, I was about to look for a good channel when it changed program. Is it getting hacked? "W... what—" I stammered. I got flustered because of it changing by itself. It then showed a video. It's a recording of a girl. "Guys... look..." I said then pressed play. I'm getting all nervous about this.

Help me. Unleash my secret, what really happened to me. Give justice to what happened to me.

The girl in the video said before it ended with a scream from her and a glass bottle breaking. "What the fuck did we just watch?" Cleo asked in disbelief. "I... don't know." I was being attacked by anxiety; I don't know what to do. I can't breathe properly. I dropped the remote control, shit, I'm sorry. "Hey, hey, let's go outside for a bit. Get some fresh air, hmm?" Scorpio said as walked to me. He held both my shoulders leading me to the balcony upstairs. He smiled at the ones eating, excusing us from the scene. He rubbed my shoulders for assurance that I'm not alone. He felt like the grandma I met at the playground when we were young. I never met her again, sadly. But I felt the death glare of Rvjune. Her eyes, as if it's on fire, just because of jealousy. If you're that jealous, why did you break up with him, anyways? When we got to the balcony, we just sat down on the bean bags. He just waited for me to calm down before talking. "It's not your fault, okay?" I didn't look at him in the eye. I played with the bean bag's fill. It was the circle things; I don't know what it's called. "Je? Are you paying attention to me?" That's when it hit me, he was talking, and I didn't hear any of it. Ugh, I'm sorry Pio. You didn't have to see me like this. "Sorry... I wasn't." I expected him to get mad because that's what everyone does right? They would get mad and shout for not paying attention to them. "It's alright. How do you feel?" He asked calmly. What? Why isn't he mad? "You're not mad...?" He chuckled softly and smiled before talking. "I'm not. So, answer my question." Haha, don't do this to me. You won't even catch me when I fall for you, will you? "What?" Shit! I said my thoughts out loud?! "Nothing! I said nothing!" I said as I stood up and ran downstairs. Why did you embarrass yourself in front of him?

Scorpio.

I was blurting out every kind of assurance I could think of, yet she wasn't paying attention at all. I don't blame her though; she must've zoned out because of the sudden anxiety. "Haha, don't do this to me. You won't even catch me when I fall for you, will you?" Niamh said. It shocked me a bit, it was funny hahaha. It made me chuckle for a bit. I'm sorry you got flustered because of it, Je. "Cute." Oh, snap out of it, Scorpio. "Wait for me Je!" I said standing up to follow her. It was my first time seeing her like that. But it's not my first time handling such situation. I learned that from my grandmother when she was still alive. She does that to Niamh when we were young. I never thought i'd see that again, not until today that is. When I got downstairs, everyone was done eating. "Hey, we left some food for you." Wyatt, who was behind the counter, said. He was wiping the dishes Cale cleaned. "Woah, you could've left those in the sink. The maids will clean it later on for us." I said, making Cale laugh. "Nah, it's alright, it's our thank you gesture for the food." I was about to talk again when Wyatt cut me off. "Ah, no buts Scorpio. The food was really good. Thank you." He said, I just smiled. The TV started making noise again, which caught our attention. The three of us watched closely. A deep voice started speaking from the screen.

Save yourselves. Every 5 in the afternoon, there will be a great hide and seek game. Hide inside other houses or wherever in the premises. Make sure you don't bump into the 'Great Blonde' because of the circumstances! This is so exciting to watch! I should get my popcorn ready for later. Good luck players. May the best player win.
